The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ash Lewis finished 401st of 528 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:37:34.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:36 quicker than the median and 103rd of 528. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:31 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:54 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Glasgow 2023 were 4:34 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
